BACKGROUND

Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (referred to herein as CSF1R; also referred to in the art as FMS, FIM2, C-FMS, and CD115) is a single-pass transmembrane receptor with an N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) and a C-terminal intracellular domain with tyrosine kinase activity. Ligand binding of CSF1 or the interleukin 34 ligand (referred to herein as IL34; Lin et al., Science 320: 807-11 (2008)) to CSF1R leads to receptor dimerization, upregulation of CSF1R protein tyrosine kinase activity, phosphorylation of CSF1R tyrosine residues, and downstream signaling events. Both CSF1 and IL34 stimulate monocyte survival, proliferation, and differentiation into macrophages.

Many tumor cells have been found to secrete CSF1, which activates monocyte/macrophage cells through CSF1R. The level of CSF1 in tumors has been shown to correlate with the level of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor. Higher levels of TAMs have been found to correlate with poorer patient prognoses. In addition, CSF1 has been found to promote tumor growth and progression to metastasis in, for example, human breast cancer xenografts in mice. See, e.g., Paulus et al., Cancer Res. 66: 4349-56 (2006). Further, CSF1R appears to play a role in osteolytic bone destruction in bone metastasis, as a small molecule inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinase activity suppresses that destruction. See, e.g., Ohno et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 5: 2634-43 (2006).

CSF1 and its receptor have also been found to be involved in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. See, e.g., Hamilton, Nat. Rev. 8: 533-44 (2008). For example, synovial endothelial cells from joints afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis have been found to produce CSF1, suggesting a role for CSF1 and its receptor in the disease. Blocking CSF1R activity with an antibody results in positive clinical effects in mouse models of arthritis, including a reduction in the destruction of bone and cartilage and a reduction in macrophage numbers. See, e.g., Kitaura et al., J. Clin. Invest. 115: 3418-3427 (2005).

Mature differentiated myeloid lineage cells such as macrophages, microglial cells, and osteoclasts contribute to pathology of various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diseases of bone loss. Differentiated myeloid lineage cells are derived from peripheral blood monocyte intermediates. CSF1R stimulation contributes to development of monocytes from bone marrow precursors, to monocyte proliferation and survival, and to differentiation of peripheral blood monocytes into differentiated myeloid lineage cells such as macrophages, microglial cells, and osteoclasts. CSF1R stimulation thus contributes to proliferation, survival, activation, and maturation of differentiated myeloid lineage cells, and in the pathologic setting, CSF1R stimulation contributes to the ability of differentiated myeloid lineage cells to mediate disease pathology.

Additional antagonists of CSF1R signaling would therefore be useful in the treatment of various CSF1R-related diseases, such as cancer, inflammatory conditions, and autoimmune diseases.

SUMMARY

The present inventors have invented a new set of antibodies, including humanized antibodies, directed against human CSF1R extracellular domain (CSF1R ECD). A Fab phage display library was made from spleens of mice that were immunized with a human CSF1R ECD-Fc fusion protein. 1056 phage clones expressing Fabs that bind to CSF-1R ECD-Fc were isolated through panning of this library. When the 1056 Fabs were expressed as purified protein, 668 were found to bind to CSF1R ECD. Of those 668 binding Fabs, only 121 Fabs blocked binding of CSF1 and/or IL34 to CSF1R. Only 33 of those Fabs were found to block binding of both CSF1 and IL34 to CSF1R. Upon sequencing, the 33 Fabs represented 19 unique sets of sequences. Eleven Fabs with subnanomolar affinity for human CSF1R ECD were chosen to make chimeric antibodies for further study. Based on the human and cynomolgus monkey CSF1R binding affinities, blocking of CSF1 and IL34 binding to CSF1R, and inhibition of ligand-induced phorphorylation of CSF1R, three chimeric antibodies were selected for humanization, and sixteen humanized antibodies were made based on those three chimeric antibodies.

Fourteen of the sixteen humanized antibodies retained subnanomolar binding affinities for human CSF1R ECD. See, e.g., Table 5. These humanized antibodies block binding of both ligands CSF1 and IL34 to human CSF1R, and many also block binding of both CSF1 and IL34 to cynomolgus monkey CSF1R. See, e.g., Table 4.

For therapeutic drug development, it is beneficial to have antibodies that bind to both human and cynomolgus monkey antigens with similar affinity. The three chimeric antibodies chosen for humanization were selected in part because they had similar binding affinities for human and cynomolgus CSF1R ECD. Most of the humanized versions of one of the chimeric antibodies, 0302, however, lost significant binding affinity for cynomolgus monkey CSF1R ECD upon humanization, although they retained strong human CSF1R ECD binding affinity. See, e.g., Table 3. Humanized versions of 0301 and 0311 retained similarly strong binding to both human and cynomolgus monkey CSF1R ECD, with binding affinity differences for the two species of less than about 2-fold.

Based on CSF1R binding affinities, ligand inhibition, and the potential for immunogenicity, three humanized antibodies were selected for additional studies. The three humanized antibodies were derived from the two chimeric antibodies that did not significantly lose cynomolgus monkey CSF1R binding affinity upon humanization. Those three humanized antibodies inhibit ligand-induced phosphorylation of human CSF1R, and also block ligand-induced proliferation and survival responses in primary human monocytes. See, e.g., Tables 6 and 7, and FIGS. 10 and 11. Thus, these antibodies are useful for treating diseases involving, for example, ligand-induced proliferation and survival responses in primary human monocytes.

Blocking CSF1R-induced responses with an anti-CSF1R antibody should inhibit proliferation, survival, activation, maturation of differentiated myeloid lineage cells and attenuate their ability to mediate disease pathology. In addition, blocking CSF1R-induced responses with an anti-CSF1R antibody should inhibit differentiation of peripheral blood monocyte intermediates into differentiated myeloid lineage cells, decreasing the number of pathology-mediating differentiated myeloid lineage cells.

Accordingly, the humanized anti-CSF1R antibodies described herein can be used to treat chronic diseases with extant symptoms by inhibiting the ability of differentiated myeloid lineage cells to mediate disease pathology. The humanized antibodies can also be used to treat chronic diseases that are relapsing and remitting in nature by inhibiting the development of new pathology-mediating myeloid lineage cells differentiated from peripheral blood monocytes during the remitting phase of the disease, thus attenuating the number of and new formation of the pathology-mediating cells.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Methods of treating diseases comprising administering novel antibodies to CSF1R are provided. All of the antibodies have binding affinities for human CSF1R ECD of less than 2 nM, and all but two of the humanized antibodies have sub-nanomolar binding affinities for human CSF1R ECD. Further, the new antibodies block binding of both CSF1 and IL34 to human CSF1R, and inhibit ligand-induced phosphorylation of human CSF1R. Many of the new antibodies also block binding of CSF1 and IL34 to cynomolgus CSF1R, which facilitates in vivo experiments to support the development of anti-CSF1R antibody therapeutics. The new antibodies are therefore well suited for therapeutic use in human diseases, including, but not limited to, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions.

The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the subject matter described.

Definitions

Unless otherwise defined, scientific and technical terms used in connection with the present invention shall have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Further, unless otherwise required by context, singular terms shall include pluralities and plural terms shall include the singular.

Exemplary techniques used in connection with recombinant DNA, oligonucleotide synthesis, tissue culture and transformation (e.g., electroporation, lipofection), enzymatic reactions, and purification techniques are known in the art. Many such techniques and procedures are described, e.g., in Sambrook et al. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989)), among other places. In addition, exemplary techniques for chemical syntheses, chemical analyses, pharmaceutical preparation, formulation, and delivery, and treatment of patients are also known in the art.

In this application, the use of “or” means “and/or” unless stated otherwise. In the context of a multiple dependent claim, the use of “or” refers back to more than one preceding independent or dependent claim in the alternative only. Also, terms such as “element” or “component” encompass both elements and components comprising one unit and elements and components that comprise more than one subunit unless specifically stated otherwise.

As utilized in accordance with the present disclosure, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings:

The terms “nucleic acid molecule” and “polynucleotide” may be used interchangeably, and refer to a polymer of nucleotides. Such polymers of nucleotides may contain natural and/or non-natural nucleotides, and include, but are not limited to, DNA, RNA, and PNA. “Nucleic acid sequence” refers to the linear sequence of nucleotides that comprise the nucleic acid molecule or polynucleotide.

The terms “polypeptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues, and are not limited to a minimum length. Such polymers of amino acid residues may contain natural or non-natural amino acid residues, and include, but are not limited to, peptides, oligopeptides, dimers, trimers, and multimers of amino acid residues. Both full-length proteins and fragments thereof are encompassed by the definition. The terms also include post-expression modifications of the polypeptide, for example, glycosylation, sialylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and the like. Furthermore, for purposes of the present invention, a “polypeptide” refers to a protein which includes modifications, such as deletions, additions, and substitutions (generally conservative in nature), to the native sequence, as long as the protein maintains the desired activity. These modifications may be deliberate, as through site-directed mutagenesis, or may be accidental, such as through mutations of hosts which produce the proteins or errors due to PCR amplification.

The term “CSF1R” refers herein to the full-length CSF1R, which includes the N-terminal ECD, the transmembrane domain, and the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain, with or without an N-terminal leader sequence. In some embodiments, the CSF1R is a human CSF1R having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2.

The term “CSF1R extracellular domain” (“CSF1R ECD”) as used herein refers to a CSF1R polypeptide that lacks the intracellular and transmembrane domains. CSF1R ECDs include the full-length CSF1R ECD and CSF1R ECD fragments that are capable of binding CSF1R and/or IL34. The human full-length CSF1R ECD is defined herein as comprising either amino acids 1 to 512 (i.e., including the leader sequence) or amino acids 20 to 512 (i.e., lacking the leader sequence) of SEQ ID NO: 2. In some embodiments, a human CSF1R ECD fragment comprises amino acids 20 to 506 of SEQ ID NO: 2 (see SEQ ID NO:5). In some embodiments, a human CSF1R fragment ends at amino acid 507, 508, 509, 510, or 511. In some embodiments, a cynoCSF1R ECD comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7 (with leader sequence) or amino acids 20 to 506 of SEQ ID NO: 7 (without leader sequence).

The term “antibody” as used herein refers to a molecule comprising at least complementarity-determining region (CDR) 1, CDR2, and CDR3 of a heavy chain and at least CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of a light chain, wherein the molecule is capable of binding to antigen. The term antibody includes, but is not limited to, fragments that are capable of binding antigen, such as Fv, single-chain Fv (scFv), Fab, Fab′, and (Fab′)₂. The term antibody also includes, but is not limited to, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and antibodies of various species such as mouse, human, cynomolgus monkey, etc.

In some embodiments, an antibody comprises at least one heavy chain comprising a heavy chain variable region and at least a portion of a heavy chain constant region, and at least one light chain comprising a light chain variable region and at least a portion of a light chain constant region. In some embodiments, an antibody comprises two heavy chains, wherein each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region and at least a portion of a heavy chain constant region, and two light chains, wherein each light chain comprises a light chain variable region and at least a portion of a light chain constant region. As used herein, a single-chain Fv (scFv), or any other antibody that comprises, for example, a single polypeptide chain comprising all six CDRs (three heavy chain CDRs and three light chain CDRs) is considered to have a heavy chain and a light chain. In some such embodiments, the heavy chain is the region of the antibody that comprises the three heavy chain CDRs and the light chain in the region of the antibody that comprises the three light chain CDRs.

The term “heavy chain variable region” as used herein refers to a region comprising heavy chain CDR1, framework (FR) 2, CDR2, FR3, and CDR3. In some embodiments, a heavy chain variable region also comprises at least a portion of an FR1 and/or at least a portion of an FR4. In some embodiments, a heavy chain CDR1 corresponds to Kabat residues 26 to 35; a heavy chain CDR2 corresponds to Kabat residues 50 to 65; and a heavy chain CDR3 corresponds to Kabat residues 95 to 102.

Nonlimiting exemplary heavy chain constant regions include γ, δ, and α. Nonlimiting exemplary heavy chain constant regions also include ε and μ. Each heavy constant region corresponds to an antibody isotype. For example, an antibody comprising a γ constant region is an IgG antibody, an antibody comprising a δ constant region is an IgD antibody, and an antibody comprising an α constant region is an IgA antibody. Further, an antibody comprising a μ constant region is an IgM antibody, and an antibody comprising an ε constant region is an IgE antibody. Certain isotypes can be further subdivided into subclasses. For example, IgG antibodies include, but are not limited to, IgG1 (comprising a γ₁ constant region), IgG2 (comprising a γ₂ constant region), IgG3 (comprising a γ₃ constant region), and IgG4 (comprising a γ₄ constant region) antibodies; IgA antibodies include, but are not limited to, IgA1 (comprising an α₁ constant region) and IgA2 (comprising an as constant region) antibodies; and IgM antibodies include, but are not limited to, IgM1 and IgM2.

A “human antibody” as used herein refers to antibodies produced in humans, antibodies produced in non-human animals that comprise human immunoglobulin genes, such as XenoMouse®, and antibodies selected using in vitro methods, such as phage display, wherein the antibody repertoire is based on a human immunoglobulin sequences.

The term “leader sequence” refers to a sequence of amino acid residues located at the N terminus of a polypeptide that facilitates secretion of a polypeptide from a mammalian cell. A leader sequence may be cleaved upon export of the polypeptide from the mammalian cell, forming a mature protein. Leader sequences may be natural or synthetic, and they may be heterologous or homologous to the protein to which they are attached. Exemplary leader sequences include, but are not limited to, antibody leader sequences, such as, for example, the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs.: 3 and 4, which correspond to human light and heavy chain leader sequences, respectively. Nonlimiting exemplary leader sequences also include leader sequences from heterologous proteins. In some embodiments, an antibody lacks a leader sequence. In some embodiments, an antibody comprises at least one leader sequence, which may be selected from native antibody leader sequences and heterologous leader sequences.

The term “vector” is used to describe a polynucleotide that may be engineered to contain a cloned polynucleotide or polynucleotides that may be propagated in a host cell. A vector may include one or more of the following elements: an origin of replication, one or more regulatory sequences (such as, for example, promoters and/or enhancers) that regulate the expression of the polypeptide of interest, and/or one or more selectable marker genes (such as, for example, antibiotic resistance genes and genes that may be used in colorimetric assays, e.g., β-galactosidase). The term “expression vector” refers to a vector that is used to express a polypeptide of interest in a host cell.

A “host cell” refers to a cell that may be or has been a recipient of a vector or isolated polynucleotide. Host cells may be prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells. Exemplary eukaryotic cells include mammalian cells, such as primate or non-primate animal cells; fungal cells, such as yeast; plant cells; and insect cells. Nonlimiting exemplary mammalian cells include, but are not limited to, NSO cells, PER.C6® cells (Crucell), and 293 and CHO cells, and their derivatives, such as 293-6E and DG44 cells, respectively.

The term “isolated” as used herein refers to a molecule that has been separated from at least some of the components with which it is typically found in nature. For example, a polypeptide is referred to as “isolated” when it is separated from at least some of the components of the cell in which it was produced. Where a polypeptide is secreted by a cell after expression, physically separating the supernatant containing the polypeptide from the cell that produced it is considered to be “isolating” the polypeptide. Similarly, a polynucleotide is referred to as “isolated” when it is not part of the larger polynucleotide (such as, for example, genomic DNA or mitochondrial DNA, in the case of a DNA polynucleotide) in which it is typically found in nature, or is separated from at least some of the components of the cell in which it was produced, e.g., in the case of an RNA polynucleotide. Thus, a DNA polynucleotide that is contained in a vector inside a host cell may be referred to as “isolated” so long as that polynucleotide is not found in that vector in nature.

The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a human. In some embodiments, methods of treating other mammals, including, but not limited to, rodents, simians, felines, canines, equines, bovines, porcines, ovines, caprines, mammalian laboratory animals, mammalian farm animals, mammalian sport animals, and mammalian pets, are also provided.

The term “rheumatoid arthritis” (“RA”) refers to a chronic autoimmune disease characterized primarily by inflammation of the lining (synovium) of the joints, which can lead to joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function, and disability. Because RA can affect multiple organs of the body, including skin, lungs, and eyes, it is referred to as a systemic illness.

The term “multiple sclerosis” (“MS”) refers to the chronic, autoimmune, demyelinating disease of the CNS in which the body generates antibodies and white blood cells against the cells that produce the myelin sheath. “Demyelination” occurs when the myelin sheath becomes inflamed, injured, and detaches from the nerve fiber.

The terms “metastasis” and “cancer metastasis” are used interchangeably herein to refer to the ability of a cancer cell to spread to other tissues. For example, “metastasis to bone” refers to the ability of certain types of cancer including, but not limited to, breast, prostate, lung, kidney, thyroid, and melanoma, to metastasize to bone.

The term “osteolytic disorders” is used herein to refer to any condition that is caused by an increase in the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for bone resorption. The terms “osteolysis” and “osteolytic bone loss” may be used interchangeably to refer to osteoclast-mediated bone resorption or bone loss associated with an osteolytic disorder. Osteolytic disorders may occur in subjects with a predisposition to develop an osteolytic disorder, or they may occur in subjects with a disease that leads to or contributes to an osteolytic disorder by stimulating osteoclast activity. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the osteolytic disorder may include osteolytic bone loss and cancer metastasis-induced osteolytic bone loss. In further exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the osteolytic bone disorder includes metabolic bone disease, including endocrinopathies, such as hypercortisolism, hypogonadism, primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, and hyperthyroidism; dietary deficiency, including rickets, osteomalacia, scurvy, and malnutrition; osteoporosis; drug use, including glucocorticoids (glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis), heparin, and alcohol; chronic disease, including malabsorption syndromes; chronic renal failure, including renal osteodystrophy; chronic liver disease, including hepatic osteodystrophy; inherited disease, including osteogenesis imperfecta and homocystinuria; and bone inflammation associated with arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, fibrous dysplasia, periodontal disease, and Paget's disease.

The terms “metastasis-induced osteolytic bone loss,” and “cancer metastasis-induced osteolytic bone loss,” are used interchangeably herein to refer to osteolysis or osteolytic bone loss resulting from cancer cell metastasis to bone. The term “cancer metastasis-induced osteoclast activation” is used herein to refer to the ability of cancer cells that have metastasized to bone to induce the activation of osteoclasts.

The term “tumor” is used herein to refer to a group of cells that exhibit abnormally high levels of proliferation and growth. A tumor may be benign, pre-malignant, or malignant; malignant tumor cells are cancerous. Tumor cells may be solid tumor cells or leukemic tumor cells. The term “tumor growth” is used herein to refer to proliferation or growth by a cell or cells that comprise a tumor that leads to a corresponding increase in the size of the tumor. The term “CSFIR-dependent tumor growth” is used herein to refer to the requirement of a tumor cell or cells for C SFIR-mediated function(s) in order for the tumor cell or cells to proliferate or grow.

“Treatment,” as used herein, covers any administration or application of a therapeutic for disease in a mammal, including a human, and includes inhibiting the disease or progression of the disease, inhibiting or slowing the disease or its progression, arresting its development, partially or fully relieving the disease, or curing the disease, for example, by causing regression, or restoring or repairing a lost, missing, or defective function; or stimulating an inefficient process.

The terms “inhibition” or “inhibit” refer to a decrease or cessation of any phenotypic characteristic or to the decrease or cessation in the incidence, degree, or likelihood of that characteristic.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to a non-toxic solid, semisolid, or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material, formulation auxiliary, or carrier conventional in the art for use with a therapeutic agent that together comprise a “pharmaceutical composition” for administration to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed and is compatible with other ingredients of the formulation. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is appropriate for the formulation employed. For example, if the therapeutic agent is to be administered orally, the carrier may be a gel capsule. If the therapeutic agent is to be administered subcutaneously, the carrier ideally is not irritable to the skin and does not cause injection site reaction.

Anti-CSF1R Antibodies

The present inventors have invented a new set of antibodies directed against CSF1R.

Exemplary Humanized Antibodies

In some embodiments, humanized antibodies that bind CSF1R are provided. Humanized antibodies are useful as therapeutic molecules because humanized antibodies reduce or eliminate the human immune response to non-human antibodies (such as the human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response), which can result in an immune response to an antibody therapeutic, and decreased effectiveness of the therapeutic.

Nonlimiting exemplary humanized antibodies include Ab1 through Ab16, described herein.

In some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises a light chain comprising a variable region sequence that is at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 10, 12, 14, and 46 to 52, wherein the antibody binds CSF1R. In some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising a variable region sequence that is at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 9, 11, 13, and 39 to 45; and a light chain comprising a variable region sequence that is at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 10, 12, 14, and 46 to 52; wherein the antibody binds CSF1R.

As used herein, whether a particular polypeptide is, for example, at least 95% identical to an amino acid sequence can be determined using, e.g., a computer program. When determining whether a particular sequence is, for example, 95% identical to a reference sequence, the percentage of identity is calculated over the full length of the reference amino acid sequence.

In some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one of the CDRs discussed herein. That is, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one CDR selected from a heavy chain CDR1 discussed herein, a heavy chain CDR2 discussed herein, a heavy chain CDR3 discussed herein, a light chain CDR1 discussed herein, a light chain CDR2 discussed herein, and a light chain CDR3 discussed herein. Further, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one mutated CDR based on a CDR discussed herein, wherein the mutated CDR comprises 1, 2, 3, or 4 amino acid substitutions relative to the CDR discussed herein. In some embodiments, one or more of the amino acid substitutions are conservative amino acid substitutions. One skilled in the art can select one or more suitable conservative amino acid substitutions for a particular CDR sequence, wherein the suitable conservative amino acid substitutions are not predicted to significantly alter the binding properties of the antibody comprising the mutated CDR.

Exemplary humanized anti-CSF1R antibodies also include antibodies that compete for binding to CSF1R with an antibody described herein. Thus, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody is provided that competes for binding to CSF1R with an antibody selected from Fabs 0301, 0302, and 0311; and bivalent (i.e., having two heavy chains and two light chains) antibody versions of those Fabs.

Exemplary Humanized Antibody Constant Regions

In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises one or more human constant regions. In some embodiments, the human heavy chain constant region is of an isotype selected from IgA, IgG, and IgD. In some embodiments, the human light chain constant region is of an isotype selected from κ and λ. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG constant region. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG4 heavy chain constant region. In some such embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises an S241P mutation in the human IgG4 constant region. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG4 constant region and a human κ light chain.

The choice of heavy chain constant region can determine whether or not an antibody will have effector function in vivo. Such effector function, in some embodiments, includes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), and can result in killing of the cell to which the antibody is bound. In some methods of treatment, including methods of treating some cancers, cell killing may be desirable, for example, when the antibody binds to a cell that supports the maintenance or growth of the tumor. Exemplary cells that may support the maintenance or growth of a tumor include, but are not limited to, tumor cells themselves, cells that aid in the recruitment of vasculature to the tumor, and cells that provide ligands, growth factors, or counter-receptors that support or promote tumour growth or tumour survival. In some embodiments, when effector function is desirable, an anti-CSF1R antibody comprising a human IgG1 heavy chain or a human IgG3 heavy chain is selected.

In some methods of treatment, effector function may not be desirable. For example, in some embodiments, it may be desirable that antibodies used in the treatment of MS and/or RA and/or osteolysis do not have effector function. Thus, in some embodiments, anti-CSF1R antibodies developed for the treatment of cancer may not be suitable for use in treatment of MS and/or RA and/or osteolysis. Accordingly, in some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody that lacks significant effector function is used in treatment of MS and/or RA and/or osteolysis. In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody for treatment of MS and/or RA and/or osteolysis comprises a human IgG4 or IgG2 heavy chain constant region. In some embodiments, an IgG4 constant region comprises an S241P mutation.

An antibody may be humanized by any method. Nonlimiting exemplary methods of humanization include methods described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,530,101; 5,585,089; 5,693,761; 5,693,762; 6,180,370; Jones et al., Nature 321: 522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332: 323-27 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239: 1534-36 (1988); and U.S. Publication No. US 2009/0136500.

As noted above, a humanized antibody is an antibody in which at least one amino acid in a framework region of a non-human variable region has been replaced with the amino acid from the corresponding location in a human framework region. In some embodiments, at least two, at least three, at least four, at least five, at least six, at least seven, at least eight, at least nine, at least 10, at least 11, at least 12, at least 15, or at least 20 amino acids in the framework regions of a non-human variable region are replaced with an amino acid from one or more corresponding locations in one or more human framework regions.

In some embodiments, some of the corresponding human amino acids used for substitution are from the framework regions of different human immunoglobulin genes. That is, in some such embodiments, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a first human antibody or encoded by a first human immunoglobulin gene, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a second human antibody or encoded by a second human immunoglobulin gene, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a third human antibody or encoded by a third human immunoglobulin gene, etc. Further, in some embodiments, all of the corresponding human amino acids being used for substitution in a single framework region, for example, FR2, need not be from the same human framework. In some embodiments, however, all of the corresponding human amino acids being used for substitution are from the same human antibody or encoded by the same human immunoglobulin gene.

In some embodiments, an antibody is humanized by replacing one or more entire framework regions with corresponding human framework regions. In some embodiments, a human framework region is selected that has the highest level of homology to the non-human framework region being replaced. In some embodiments, such a humanized antibody is a CDR-grafted antibody.

In some embodiments, following CDR-grafting, one or more framework amino acids are changed back to the corresponding amino acid in a mouse framework region. Such “back mutations” are made, in some embodiments, to retain one or more mouse framework amino acids that appear to contribute to the structure of one or more of the CDRs and/or that may be involved in antigen contacts and/or appear to be involved in the overall structural integrity of the antibody. In some embodiments, ten or fewer, nine or fewer, eight or fewer, seven or fewer, six or fewer, five or fewer, four or fewer, three or fewer, two or fewer, one, or zero back mutations are made to the framework regions of an antibody following CDR grafting.

In some embodiments, a humanized antibody also comprises a human heavy chain constant region and/or a human light chain constant region.

In some embodiments, one or more variable regions of a chimeric antibody are mouse variable regions. The human constant region of a chimeric antibody need not be of the same isotype as the non-human constant region, if any, it replaces. Chimeric antibodies are discussed, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81: 6851-55 (1984).

Example 1: Selection of Fabs that Bind CSF1R Extracellular Domain (ECD)

Mice were immunized with a human CSF1R extracellular domain Fc fusion, hCSF1R ECD.506-Fc (SEQ ID NO: 6). Spleens from immunized mice were isolated, and a Fab phage display library was created from the spenocytes. Fab-expressing phage were selected for binding to human CSF1R ECD. Fabs from positive-binding phage were expressed and purified from bacteria. A total of 1056 Fab clones were selected for further analysis.

Fabs were screened for the ability to bind human CSF1R ECD, block binding of human CSF1 to human CSF1R ECD, and block binding of human IL34 to human CSF1R ECD. Sequence analysis and clusertering of the Fabs that were selected from that screen was then performed and certain unique Fabs were selected.

The unique Fabs were further analyzed for the ability to bind human CSF1R ECD, the ability to bind cynomolgus CSF1R ECD, and the ability to bind mouse CSF1R ECD. The Fabs were also analyzed for the ability to block human CSF1 binding to human CSF1R ECD and the ability to block human IL34 binding to human CSF1R ECD, and the ability to inhibit ligand-induced CSF1R phosphorylation in the presence of CSF1 or IL34. (Data not shown.)

Example 2: Reformatting of Anti-CSF1R Fabs to Make Chimeric Antibodies

Following the Fab characterization, eleven of the Fabs were selected for reformatting to chimeric antibodies. Each Fab was reformatted to a chimeric antibody comprising a human IgG4 heavy chain constant region with the S241P mutation, and a human κ light chain constant region. Briefly, Fab VH regions cloned into and expressed from vector pTT5 (Biotechnology Research Institute, Montreal, Canada; and National Research Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Canada) modified to contain a mouse IgH leader sequence (SEQ ID NO: 4) and a human IgG4 heavy chain constant region with the S241P mutation (SEQ ID NO: 94). Fab VL regions were cloned into and expressed from vector pTT5 modified to contain a mouse Igκ leader sequence (SEQ ID NO: 3) and a human Igκ light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 95). Fab V regions were inserted in such a way as not to introduce non-antibody derived amino acid sequences into the final proteins.

Example 3: Expression and Characterization of Chimeric Antibodies

The chimeric antibodies were transiently expressed and purified substantially as described below in Example 5.

The 11 chimeric antibodies were assayed for binding to human, cynomolgus, and mouse CSF1R ECD. The chimeric antibodies were also assayed for the ability to block binding of human CSF1 to human CSF1R ECD, the ability to block binding of human IL34 to human CSF1R ECD, the ability to block binding of human CSF1 to cynomolgus CSF1R ECD, and the ability to inhibit ligand-induced CSF1R phosphorylation in the presence of CSF1 or IL34. The chimeric antibodies were further assayed for binding to CSF1R on the surface of cells. Finally, the chimeric antibodies were assayed to confirm that they do not induce CSF1R phosphorylation in the absence of ligand. (Data not shown.)

Example 4: Humanization of Anti-CSF1R Antibodies

From the analyses described above, chimeric anti-CSF1R antibodies 0301, 0302, and 0311 were selected for humanization. The antibodies were humanized by changing certain amino acid residues in the framework regions of the heavy and light chain variable regions. The criteria used for humanization were as described previously, e.g., in U.S. Publication No. US 2009/0136500.

For cAb 0301, three humanized heavy chain variable regions and two humanized light chain variable regions were designed, for a total of six humanized antibodies, Ab1 to Ab6. For cAb 0302, two humanized heavy chain variable regions and three humanized light chain variable regions were designed, for a total of six humanized antibodies, Ab7 to Ab12. For cAb 0311, two humanized heavy chain variable regions and two humanized light chain variable regions were designed, for a total of four humanized antibodies, Ab13 to Ab16.

The sequences for each of the humanized heavy chain variable regions and humanized light chain variable regions, aligned with the sequences of the parental chimeric antibody variable regions and the sequences of the human acceptor variable framework regions are shown in FIGS. 1 (heavy chains) and 2 (light chains). The changes in humanized variable region sequences relative to the human acceptor variable framework region sequences are boxed.

Example 5: Humanized Anti-CSF1R Antibodies Bind to Human and Cynomolgus CSF1R ECD, but not to Mouse CSF1R ECD

The 16 humanized antibodies were transiently expressed in CHO cells, as follows. CHO-3E7 cells were co-transfected with individual heavy and light chain expression plasmids at a mass ratio of 1 heavy chain plasmid to 2 light chain plasmids using polyethyleneinimine (PEI) at a DNA:PEI ratio of 1:5. Total DNA used per transfection was 1.5 μg/ml of cells.

Humanized antibodies were purified from transfected cell supernatants using HiTrap Protein A HP columns (GE Healthcare) followed by further purification using Phenyl HP columns (GE Healthcare). Antibody containing supernatants were loaded onto HiTrap Protein A HP columns pre-equilibrated with PBS/0.5M NaCl. Antibody loaded columns were washed with 10 column volumes PBS/0.5M NaCl, and eluted with a mixed linear-step gradient of 0.1 M Glycine, pH 2.7/0.5 M NaCl directly into 100 ul of 1M Tris buffer, pH 8.0. Antibody containing eluates were dialyzed against PBS, after which 2.4 M (NH₄)₂SO₄ (Sigma) was added to achieve a conductivity equal to that of 10 mM Potassium Phosphate pH7.0/1.2 M (NH₄)₂SO₄. Antibodies were then loaded on 1 ml Phenyl HP columns (GE Healthcare) pre-equilibrated with 10 mM Potassium Phosphate pH7.0/1.2 M (NH₄)₂SO₄. Antibody loaded columns were washed with 15 column volumes 10 mM Potassium Phosphate pH7.0/1.2 M (NH₄)₂SO₄, and eluted with a 20 column volume gradient of 10 mM Potassium Phosphate, pH 7.0. Antibody containing fractions were pooled and dialyzed against PBS.

The humanized antibodies, along with their parental chimeric antibodies (cAbs), were assayed for binding to human, cynomolgus, and mouse CSF1R ECD, as follows.

Human CSF1R Binding Activity

Ninety-six well clear-bottom ELISA plates were coated overnight with 1 μg/ml recombinant hCSF1R ECD.506-Fc (SEQ ID NO: 6; FivePrime Therapeutics) or Human M-CSF R Fc Chimera (R&D Systems) in PBS. The next morning, wells were washed four times with 0.05% Tween20 in PBS (PBST) and blocked with Blocker-Blotto (Pierce). Fifty μl of 0.5× serial dilutions of the humanized antibody or parental chimeric antibody, beginning with 2000 ng/ml, diluted 1:1 in Blocker-Blotto were added to the CSF1R-coated wells. After incubation at room temperature (RT) for 90 min, wells were washed four times with PBST, and a 1:5000 dilution of a peroxidase-conjugated Goat anti-Human kappa Light chain antibody (Sigma) in Blocker-Blotto was added to each well. After incubation at RT for 60 min, wells were washed four times with PBST, and 50 μl o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride peroxidase substrate (Sigma) was added to each well. After incubation at RT for 30 min, A450 values of each well were read directly on a SpectraMaxPlus spectrophotometer with SoftMaxPro software (Molecular Devices).

The results of that experiment is shown in FIG. 3. All of the humanized antibodies bound to human CSF1R ECD within the range of concentrations tested.

Cynomolgus CSF1R Binding Curve

The binding curve for each humanized antibody binding to cynomolgus CSF1R ECD was determined as described above for human CSF1R, except the wells of the clear-bottom ELISA plates were coated overnight with 2 μg/ml recombinant cynoCSF1R ECD-Fc (FivePrime Therapeutics, SEQ ID NO: 8, but without the 19 amino acid leader sequence).

The results of that experiment are shown in FIG. 4. All of the humanized antibodies bound to cynomolgus CSF1R ECD within the range of concentrations tested.

Mouse CSF1R Binding Curve

The binding curve for each humanized antibody binding to mouse CSF1R ECD was determined as described above for human CSF1R, except the wells of the clear-bottom ELISA plates were coated overnight with 2 μg/ml recombinant mCSF1R ECD-Fc (FivePrime Therapeutics, SEQ ID NO: 93).

The results of that experiment are shown in FIG. 5. None of the humanized antibodies, or the parental chimeric antibodies, detectably bound to mouse CSF1R ECD over the range of concentrations tested.

Calculation of EC50s

Table 3 shows the EC50, calculated using the non-linear regression (curve-fit) analysis algorithm of the GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Software) for each humanized antibody binding to human CSF1R ECD and cynomolgus CSF1R ECD. Because none of the chimeric antibodies detectably bound to mouse CSF1R ECD, an EC50 could not be calculated from that data. Table 3 also includes the calculated EC50s for the parental chimeric antibodies.

Example 6: Humanized Anti-CSF1R Antibodies Inhibit Ligand-Induced CSF1R Phosphorylation

CSF1R is phosphorylated in the presence of ligands CSF1 or IL34. The humanized antibodies, along with their parental chimeric antibodies (cAbs), were tested for their ability to inhibit CSF1R phosphorylation induced by either ligand, as follows.

Inhibition of CSF1-Induced Phosphorylation

CSF1R (SEQ ID NO: 2)-transfected CHO cells were incubated with serial dilutions of each humanized antibody or a parental chimeric antibody, beginning at 8 μg/ml, for 60 min on ice, after which 3.3 nM of human CSF1 (M-CSF, R&D Systems) was added to the cells. (For the 0301 series of humanized antibodies, serial dilutions beginning at 2 μg/ml of humanized antibody and parental chimeric antibody was used.) The cells were incubated for 3 minutes at 37° C., and then lysed by addition of 1/10× volume of 10× cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology). The amount of phosphorylated CSF1R in the cell lysates was quantified using a human phospho-M-CSF R ELISA kit (R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The results of that experiment are shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C. All of the humanized antibodies were able to inhibit human CSF1-induced phosphorylation of human CSF1R ECD within the range of concentrations tested.

Inhibition of IL34-Induced Phosphorylation

CSF1R (SEQ ID NO: 2)-transfected CHO cells were incubated with 0.002 to 8 μg/ml of each humanized antibody or a parental chimeric antibody for 60 min on ice, after which 3.3 nM of human IL34 (FivePrime Therapeutics; SEQ ID NO: 68) was added to the cells. The cells were incubated for 3 minutes at 37° C., and then lysed by addition of 1/10× volume of 10× cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology). The amount of phosphorylated CSF1R in the cell lysates was quantified using a human phospho-M-CSF R ELISA kit (R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The results of that experiment are shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C. All of the humanized antibodies were able to inhibit human IL34-induced phosphorylation of human CSF1R within the range of concentrations tested.

Example 7: Humanized Anti-CSF1R Antibodies Block Human CSF1 and Human IL34 Binding to Human and Cynomolgous CSF1R

Human CSF1/CSF1R Blocking Activity

The humanized antibodies, along with the parental chimeric antibodies (cAbs), were tested for their ability to block human CSF1 binding to human and cynomolgus CSF1R ECD, as follows.

Recombinant Human CSF1 (M-CSF; R&D Systems) was biotinylated using an NH2-Biotin Labeling Kit (Dojindo Molecular Technologies). One hundred μl of 1 μg/ml biotinylated CSF1 in PBST/0.1% BSA was added to the wells of Reacti-Bind Streptavidin coated plates (Pierce) pre-blocked with SuperBlock blocking buffer (Pierce) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fifty μl of 0.5× serial dilutions of the humanized antibody or parental chimeric antibody, beginning with 2000 ng/ml, was incubated with 50 ng/ml hCSF1R ECD.506-Fc (SEQ ID NO: 6; FivePrime Therapeutics) or 50 ng/ml cynoCSF1R ECD-Fc (FivePrime Therapeutics, SEQ ID NO: 8, but without the 19 amino acid leader sequence) in 100 μl PBST/0.1% BSA for 90 min at RT, after which the admix was transferred to one or more wells of a ligand-coated plate. After 90 min at RT, wells were washed with PBST, and a 1:5000 dilution of an Fc-fragment-specific peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (Jackson Immuno Research) in PBST/0.1% BSA was added to each well. After incubation at RT for 60 min, wells were washed with PBST/0.1% BSA, and o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride peroxidase substrate (Sigma) was added to each well. After incubation at RT for 30 min, A450 values of each well were read directly on a SpectraMaxPlus spectrophotometer with SoftMaxPro software (Molecular Devices).

The results of that experiment for cynomolgus CSF1R are shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C. All of the humanized antibodies based on Fabs 0301 and 0311 were able to block human CSF1 binding to cynomolgus CSF1R ECD within the range of concentrations tested. None of the humanized antibodies based on Fab 0302 showed similar blocking activity in that experiment compared to the blocking activity of cAb 0302.

Human IL34/CSF1R Blocking Activity

The humanized antibodies were tested for their ability to block human IL34 binding to human CSF1R ECD. The blocking activity of each humanized antibody was determined as described above for blocking of CSF1, except recombinant human IL34 (FivePrime Therapeutics; SEQ ID NO: 68) was biotinylated using an NH2-Biotin Labeling Kit (Dojindo Molecular Technologies), and then 100 μl of 1 μg/ml biotinylated recombinant IL34 in PBST/0.1% BSA was added to the wells of Reacti-Bind Streptavidin coated plates (Pierce) pre-blocked with SuperBlock blocking buffer (Pierce) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The results of that experiment for cynomolgus CSF1R are shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C. All of the humanized antibodies based on Fabs 0301 and 0311 were able to block human IL34 binding to cynomolgus CSF1R ECD within the range of concentrations tested. None of the humanized antibodies based on Fab 0302 showed similar blocking activity in that experiment compared to the blocking activity of cAb 0302.

Calculation of IC50s

Table 4 shows the IC50, calculated using the non-linear regression (curve-fit) analysis algorithm of the GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Software), for inhibition of ligand-induced CSF1R phosphorylation by each humanized antibody. Table 4 also shows the IC50, calculated using the non-linear regression (curve-fit) analysis algorithm of the GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Software), for blocking of ligand binding to CSF1R ECD by each humanized antibody. Finally, Table 4 shows the number of amino acids in the framework regions of the light and heavy chain of each humanized antibody that were back-mutated to the corresponding mouse amino acid residue. For example, humanized antibody h0301L1H1 has one amino acid in a light chain framework region that was back-mutated to the mouse amino acid, and one amino acid in the heavy chain framework regions that was back-mutated to the mouse amino acid. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the back-mutated amino acid in the light chain framework is at position 1 in framework 1, and the back-mutated amino acid in the heavy chain is at position 71 in framework 3 according to Kabat numbering (see FIG. 1B).

Example 8: Humanized Anti-CSF1R Antibody Binding Constants

The k_(a), k_(d), and K_(D) for binding to human CSF1R ECD was determined for each of the humanized antibodies as follows.

Binding kinetics of anti-CSF1R humanized antibodies to CSF1R ECD was determined using Biacore T100 Surface Plasmon Resononance (SPR) (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Piscataway, N.Y.). Each of the humanized anti-CSF1R antibodies was captured on a CM5 sensor chip immobilized with anti-Human IgG antibody using the Human antibody capture kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Piscataway, N.Y.) at 150RU so that the Rmax value for hCSF1R ECD.506 (SEQ ID NO: 5) binding was 100 RU. Rmax values of less than 150 RU are recommended for accurately determining kinetic values. 10 mM Hepes buffered saline, pH 7.4, with 0.05% Tween20 (HPS-P; GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Piscataway, N.Y.) was used as the running and dilution buffer. hCSF1R ECD.506 was injected at six concentrations (90 nM, 30 nM, 10 nM, 3.33 nM, 1.11 nM, and 0 nM) for 2 minutes and dissociation was observed for 5 minutes to determine humanized antibody/hCSF1R ECD binding kinetic parameters. The association constant, dissociation constant, affinity, and binding capacity of each of the Fabs for human CSF1R ECD was calculated using the Biacore T100 Evaluation software package using the 1:1 binding model.

The results of the kinetic determinations are shown in Table 5.

All but two of the humanized antibodies showed sub-nanomolar binding affinities for human CSF1R ECD, and the remaining two humanized antibodies showed binding affinities for human CSF1R ECD of less than 2 nM.

Example 9: Humanized Anti-CSF1R Antibodies Block Ligand-Induced Phosphorylation

Based on the data above, including CSF1R binding and ligand inhibition, and the likelihood of immunogenicity for each humanized antibody, three humanized antibodies were selected for further study: 0301-L0H0, 0301-L1H0, and 0311-L0H1.

After confirming that 0301-L0H0, 0301-L1H0, and 0311-L0H1 each bind to CSF1R on the surface of cells (data not shown), each of the antibodies was tested for the ability to block ligand-induced CSF1R phosphorylation in CHO cells, as described in Example 6.

The results of that experiment are shown in FIG. 10. All three of the humanized antibodies tested blocked both CSF1-induced (A) and IL34-induced (B) phosphorylation of CSF1R in CHO cells. Table 6 shows the IC50 for blocking of ligand-induced CSF1R phosphorylation for each antibody.

Example 10: Humanized Anti-CSF1R Antibodies Block Ligand-Induced Proliferation/Survival Responses of Primary Human Monocytes

Humanized antibodies 0301-L0H0, 0301-L1H0, and 0311-L0H1 were tested for their ability to block ligand-induced monocyte proliferation/survival responses as follows.

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy donor blood by centrifugation onto a Ficoll-Paque cushion (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Peripheral blood monocytes were subsequently isoated from the recovered PBMC fraction by centrifugation onto a 48.5% Percoll™ cushion (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences). After recovery from the Percoll™ cushion, the purified peripheral blood monocytes were stimuated with 162 pM recombinant human CSF1 or 1.6 nM recombinant human IL34 (both from R&D Systems) in the presence or absence of serial dilutions of humanised antibody 0301-L0H0, humanised antibody 0301-L1H0, or humanised antibody 0311-L0H1. After incubation at 37° C. for 48 hours, relative cellular ATP content of each individual culture was assessed using CellTiter-Glo® reagent (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. In this assay, relative cellular ATP content is directly proportional to the number of viable cells in culture, and thus reflects monocyte proliferation/survival responses.

The results of that experiment are shown in FIG. 11. All three of the humanized antibodies tested were able to block monocyte proliferation/survival responses following CSF1 (A) or IL34 (B) stimulation. Table 7 shows the IC50s for blocking of ligand-induced monocyte proliferation/survival responses for each antibody. The values shown in Table 7 represent the range observed from the three different primary donors tested.

Example 11: Humanized Anti-CSF1R Antibodies do not Directly Stimulate Primary Human Monocyte Proliferation or Survival Responses

Humanized antibodies 0301-L0H0, 0301-L1H0, and 0311-L0H1 were tested for their ability to directly stimulate primary monocyte proliferation and/or survival, as follows.

Human peripheral blood monocytes were isolated as described in Example 10. Serial dilutions of humanised antibody 0301-L0H0, humanised antibody 0301-L1H0, or humanised antibody 0311-L0H1 were added to the monocytes in the absence of stimulation either by exogenous CSF1 or by exogenous IL34. After incubation at 37° C. for 48 hours, relative ATP content of each individual culture was assessed using CellTiter Glo® reagent (Promega) as in Example 10. The experiment was carried out on peripheral blood monocytes from three different donors.

The results of that experiment are shown in FIG. 12. None of the humanized antibodies stimulated primary monocyte proliferation or survival in either of the primary monocyte preparations tested.
